Dr. K M Rafiqul Islam Shetu is a Consultant Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon associated with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in Dhaka. He completed his MBBS and obtained an MS in Orthopedics. His specialist field covers disorders and injuries affecting the bones, joints, muscles and spine.

Orthopedic problems can develop from injuries, age-related changes or conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Back pain, joint stiffness, fractures, ligament injuries and problems with mobility are common reasons for orthopedic consultation. Spine-related complaints may include persistent neck or lower-back pain, nerve-related symptoms and difficulty with movement.

A spine assessment generally begins with the patient's symptoms and medical history. Physical examination may be followed by imaging such as X-rays or MRI when needed. Not every orthopedic or spinal problem requires surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment can include medication, physiotherapy, exercise or other measures, while surgery may be considered for selected cases.

Dr. K M Rafiqul Islam Shetu's chamber is listed at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. Patients seeking advice for orthopedic or spine-related concerns can bring previous imaging reports, prescriptions and treatment records. These documents can help the specialist understand the history of the condition and assess the next steps in care.
